>My neck was sore for a week following.

neither here nor there, and I know you didn't ask, but from one tech worker to another, this isn't normal and unless you had some condition before you should be addressing this with exercise.



How old are you? Once you get of a certain age, doing anything new or different to your body leaves it aching for a week.

You’re right that you address it with exercise though.


Where "a certain age" is no later than 30. Peaking physically at 25 is no exaggeration.


I’m in my middle fourties and I don’t have this issue.


> you should be addressing this with exercise.

Oh 100%, not afraid to admit that! And it probably wasn't wise to just dive right into it without building up to all day use.


Seems pretty normal after spending an entire day with a weight attached to your head? Your neck muscles obviously won’t be adapted to the additional load.
